Hi

Does anyone know how to select a certain number of rows only ? Lets say i select a table of 1000 rows but only want to fetch not more than 10 rows from the table, how can i make sure that only 10 are selected ? Now i have confused myself...

Thanks

There's also set rowcount...

set rowcount 10
go
select...
from...
where...
go
set rowcount 0 -- turns this option off
